The Greatest American Women to be Celebrated Today

This 4th of July we celebrate our nation’s heritage and contributions to mother earth, and at the heart of our celebration today, we need to honor the women that have made America the greatest country on the planet.

Susan B. Anthony, a woman who lived from 1820-1906 worked tirelessly for women’s suffrage, becoming the flashpoint for the single greatest accomplishment in our history; the right for women to vote. Rosa Parks should be celebrated for refusing to sit at the back of the bus.

Shirley Chisholm made history by being the 1st African American woman elected to Congress, later making a bid to be President in 1972 at the Democratic National Convention.

Amelia Earhart proved that women could do anything men could do, becoming the 1st woman aviator to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic in 1928.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, now 85, still sits on the highest court in the land the Supreme Court, lending her voice to the laws that shape our world. She was placed on the high court by President Clinton in 1993.

Let’s give a shout out to the NASA ‘Computers’ portrayed in the Academy Award film ‘Hidden Figures’, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Dorothy Vaughan. We can’t forget Michelle Obama the 1st African American First Lady, or Elaine Cho, the first Asian-American woman to serve on any presidential cabinet.
